| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tbh, after listening to the new OP song several times, I actually really like it. We got more info dump on the case from the past and Keiichi's reaction is kind of what I had expected. Also got to see more of Rena's infamous "Uso da!" That yandere-ish face says it all. I got nostalgia from this episode. That Rena eye at the end though...yikes. |
 |
| Onikakushi and Kamikakushi what? I don't want to talk so much, it's just that this episode is so creepy ... Your face Rena-san.  |
| Wait, did Tomitake disappeared? |
 |
| What a flat "Usoda!". Quite poor remake. |
| Tomitake didn't appear, just a pict with my lovely blonde girl. |
|
| I'm also one of these people :) |
| Welp, if you're a first time Higurashi watcher, definitely go watch the 2006 version if you're not going to ever read visual novels. They sure spooked me away from watching this adaptation at all with this episode. |
| It was a decent episode. I noticed some differences within the Old Anime and this "sequel", but other than that it entirely plays around the context of Onikakushi or Onidamashi-hen. To be honest, I really didn't feel that much fear to the new Rena's "Uso da" compared to 2006 version, but it's still good. |
 |
| Nothing mind-bending, but it did do me a spook, so I'm satisfied. |
| honestly really enjoyed this episode. I think most people were worried about how they would do the tense scenes like renas part. But honestly. they've made it more disturbing than the original in my opinion. Thought it was spooky, It gave me a jump even though I was expecting it lol. can't wait to see how the next episode plays out. I like how they've added more to the spook factor than the deen version :) |
You are not a flower of hell.  |
| The whole final half of the episode had me on edge. Loved the scene where Rena comes back and Keiichi with “you’re hiding things and lying to us too” love her psycho face/voice. Super hot. Seems like 23 minutes is never enough for this show, it goes by so quickly and leaves you wanting more and more. Can’t wait for next week to see how Rena being in the house plays out. |
 |
| It's starting!! Oyashiro-sama is coming. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Ooishi definitely feels like the character that was translated the worst into the new artstyle, it's pretty distracting. |
| Yeah that OP song still is one of my favorites this season, but man still does not fit this series whatsoever. What a shame, but atleast I get to bang to the full song from my phone as a regular song to make up for it. Regarding the episode, it was just there. The designs for some reason feel glossier than ever for me in this episode which felt weird. The actual atmosphere still lacks for me but it is an improvement from the previous 2 episodes in that aspect. The music helps a lot over there, even if the actual mystery still isn't interesting or creepy for me. |
MachinaePrime said: Ooishi definitely feels like the character that was translated the worst into the new artstyle, it's pretty distracting. He looks a lot like the original character design from the game. So there's 24 episodes, ~6 episodes for a "chapter" which then should make up the questions arc? Hopefully we get a season 2 for the answers arc. |
| I liked Rena's yandereish parts, USO DA!! Gave me chills ngl. Also not much variation from the OG so far in this episode. |
 |
| Rena's eyes look absolutely amazing. Now that is how crazy is supposed to look |
   |
| Boring. Usoda was very quick and anti-climatic. Nothing new added. If Ryuu is trying to make this work for both new and old, and that will be a disaster, Spoilery for new ones, and boring for old ones. |
| I don’t know what people are complaining about, it was a kinda scary episode Great stuff, the horror begins now. |

If they'll only watch this one how is it "Spoilery" lol ofc it'll be boring for old fans who know know everything already, it's primarily for new viewers. |
 |
| Nothing particularly out of the ordinary this week seemingly... except Rena's "usoda!" outburst felt incredibly botched though, I almost started laughing instead of being creeped out by how silly they made her look there On the other hand, they did a great job with her eyes in some of the shots. Especially the last one at the doorway right at the end was spot on |
  |
| Lol, Rena was definitely scary there. Things are getting intense and I'm low-key annoyed to wait another week for the next episode. Probably gonna put this on-hold and binge this later. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
thats what the ep want to tell u that she 'disappeared' huhu |
 |
| as a person whos watched the originals watching it and seeing people's reactions is 10x more fun |
 |
| Damn, we are only at episode 3, and this ii already making my mind go crazy with that misterious and creepy aura! Rena personality change really blow me out, she was so creepy! That backstory about Rena, and i dont believe she was there hearing him at phone, that plotwist and clifhanger! I am too curious for more! 24 episodes to go, i dont know how to put what i feel in words, i think i am ready for this! |
 |
| Last parts are always the best. They did a good build up this episode, Rena’s creepy face in Passione style was good too. Can’t wait for the next episode, I hope they can make it as gore as possible. |
 |
| I still can't get used to Rena's yandereish. That "Uso da!" part is always scary. The studio did a good job with her eyes. |
 |
| Nice to see and hear the iconic "USODA" again, |
 |
| The last 5 minutes really sealed the deal for me! I’m excited for this series. I’m actually enjoying this version of events and that it’s not a scene for scene adaption of the anime and more closely follows the VN. (Wish people would stop complaining, your favourite anime has got a reboot?? Like if you hate it so much don’t watch it). |
 |
| Great buildup episode, and that pay-off in the end there was on-point! Rena's freakin' scary seriously, but the real horror has yet to begin... Seeing Tomitake-san finally is quite the treat too, and that same mannerism and voice is perfect. I still remember re-watching this episode from the Deen version to piece things together and try to keep myself one up but lol looking back now, it didn't help much. Like many others above, the Op. I'm starting to dig it too. |

| I honesty don't like this. It feels like it's just some arcs mashed together and call it a day. Technically speaking you could argue it's something new yeah, but it's also not. It's just being a bit lazy. The animation is also kinda crappy. It's not like Passione has ruined something fun before with their crappy CGI. If I would rate it now, I'd give it a dissapointing but a honest 4/10 or so. *shrug* |
| Sorry, due to licensing limitations, this message is unavailable in your region. Please come drink tea, eat cake and procrastinate at the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things Club. We have simulwatches! \o/  |
Damn, Chie-sensei is really thick in this adaptation. |
| Damn that cliffhanger is making me want more. |
| Glad to see things finnaly getting started. I didn't really like the "usoda!" part though. But, overall nice episode. |

| Listening to Rena's USODA in both the new and old Higurashi, I'd say the old Higurashi beats by an inch. I mean I like the different directions they took shots of that scene. Still a good episode, though. |
 |
| Hm... not really anything new thus far. Hoping for a doozy soon. |
| Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well lol |
 |
| I'm surprised they made Ooishi's car even crappier than it already was. Edit: Subtle changes noticed from original arc 1: |

| Most of it was really similar to the OG but so Tomitake disappears in this one... hmm very interesting episode I would say, nice. |
 |
| why are people interested in Rena's voice? I do not understand. |
| This episode was so freaking scary that it's gives me shivers. The monologue was eerie and Rena was creepy and scary at same time. Unlike some of horror genre anime,Higurashi is actually scary like my own nightmares... I am having scary doubts about next episode... My hands are shaking. |
| There is no bad waifu,only bad anime. |
